This is a step in the wrong direction, one that poses a false choice between economic development and growth and protection of our natural resources. We could have both if we had a government that was smart and wasn’t captured by ideology.

We all know what the real goal of this bills is. This is a blatant disregard of the land, the wildlife’s that are indefensible to a healthy ecosystem. There’s enough ugly condo buildings in Ontario, affordable housing doesn’t depend on building more unregulated and non rent controlled condos.

This bill is incredibly harmful to Ontario’s wildlife and indigenous people, and an affront to democracy by creating special economic zones that give the Premier the authority to green-light mines, highways, and clear cuts with no oversight.

Although I have not read all the details of the subject legislation or proposed amendments, in these times of climate change, massive growth in southern Ontario and common natural habitat destruction, I do not feel reducing the existing controls is a signal of wise government.

I’m horrified to think about the repercussions of removing these protections. This looks like another way to allow development without oversight!?!

Absolutely not - how can you think about doing this. I am a canadian citizen residing in Durham and I completely oppose to this bill. Do not make the environment worse this is a shame !!!!
Destroying or negatively changing The Endangered Species Act is woefully wrong. It should not even be an option. Who, in their right minds, decides to place these species at risk? No politician and or political party should be allowed to do this. It should always be illegal to do such a thing.

The Endangered Species Act is an important piece of legislation protecting Ontario's natural heritage through protecting vulnerable species and their habitat. This piece of legislation is crucial in assuring that development happens in a responsible and sustainable way.

passing this act would be allowing human destruction at its finest. I'm not sure what is wrong with humans who need to take over and destroy the most vulnerable instead of protecting them and ensuring their survival.

I do not support these changes. They could cause irreparable harm to the environment and to Ontario's green spaces. It is more important than ever to help protect nature, our natural resources, and the environment. Please don't pass these amendments.
Ontario is a beautiful province. One that I have loved and cherished for over 43 years. Before coming to Canada, I was born in Tanzania. Both there and here, the importance of preserving nature and animals was well understood.

What is going on here? "Voluntary" site remediation? How about don't destroy it in the first place?
Immediate ability to begin site work? So they can later say " Oh sorry about that. Shall I pay a small fie now and it will all be OK?"
